Originally an open air theater that was part of F.H. Merten’s Photo-Play Theatres. Located on the corner of Jackson Avenue (today Martin Luther King Drive) and Wilkinson Avenue, this theater closed in the mid-1950’s.

A picture post card can be found on page 111 of the Arcadia Publishing book “Jersey City”.

I think the theatre may still stand. Check out the Salvation Army building, which gives its address as 242 Martin Luther King Drive. It looks like it could have been an old theatre. Additionally, property tax records from the Jersey City assessor’s office list the official address of this building as 242-246 MLK Drive. 246 was the address of the Apollo Theatre.
